Here are some sample teams through the years. Some things stick out. USC defense is basically just as effective against ranked teams as unranked teams. Anyone know why or is it just randomness? LSU is about average except the 2007 team was just as effective against ranked as unranked. Overall, LSU appears to be quite stingy on defense regardless of who they play. WV had some weak defenses in 2005-2006 but the # of games is so low it is hard to tell. The other years were about average so maybe it is just randomness.
